crowd. we don't know if anyone was injured. two other sideshows popped up later at columbus parkway and spring street. we're told the crowd broke up about 3:00 this morning. speaking of sideshows in san francisco, the board of supervisors will vote this week on a bill that would crack down on sideshows. the legislation would increase criminal penalties for people who plan and participate in the illegal gatherings. board of supervisors have already approved the legislation once this vote is going to make it official, and that vote will take place on tuesday. meanwhile, san francisco students, parents and teachers could learn the fate of their schools this week. san francisco unified is expected to release a list of school closures for 2025. the district has been struggling with several issues, including declining enrollment and a $400 million budget deficit was expected to release a list of closures earlier this month, but the decision was delayed until october. an exact date for when the closures will be released has not yet been announced, but it could come as soon as tuesday. turning to decision 2024. there are now

just 37 days until election day. both presidential candidates on the campaign trail this weekend. former president trump in erie, pennsylvania, today. now his website says his next rally in pennsylvania is slated for october 5th in butler, very same town where he was shot during an assassination attempt back in july. vice president harris in las vegas, speaking at a campaign rally just yesterday, the vp was here in the bay area for a fundraiser in san francisco. her campaign says she raised $27 million just yesterday. another 28 million during a fundraiser in la today. the second gentleman made a quick stop on the peninsula tonight to help pull in some silicon valley cash for the harris campaign. the private fundraiser was held at the menlo park home of two ceos, andy levy, the ceo of box, and his wife, joelle emerson, the ceo of paradigm strategy. nbc bay area's emma goss was the only reporter inside the event in menlo park. this was an

exclusive, invitation only fundraiser that brought out silicon valley founders and leaders across business and tec, who already plan to vote for harris. the reason doug emhoff came here was not only to fundraise in the last stretch of the campaign, it was also to mobilize these silicon valley heavyweights, many with large social networks, to get in touch with people who are still undecided or on the fence. emhoff spoke very personally about harris's character, her record as district attorney and california's attorney general, and about her plans, if elected for economic growth and supporting businesses. he also asked attendees to go the distance literally to volunteer for the harris-walz campaign. in states where the margins are much slimmer. he really talked also about going to our neighboring states, because in california, you, your vote doesn't matter as much because of where we are. so go to arizona, go to nevada. so i think a lot of people will think about doing that. and helping out. today, former president

trump campaigned in battleground pennsylvania. meanwhile, vice president harris is wrapping up a west coast blitz. she campaigned in san francisco yesterday and made her way to los angeles today. earlier this evening, she touched down in las vegas. coming up at 11, i'll tell you what. each candidate said today and what voters political experts say the campaigns need to hone in on in this final home stretch. reporting in menlo park, emma goss, nbc, bay area news. emma. thank you. one of kamala harris's childhood friends says she inspired him to run for city council in the east bay. today supporters gathered for a fundraiser for ahmad anderson's bid for richmond city council. anderson has lived in richmond for more than 60 years. his late mother, irma anderson, was the city's first female mayor. anderson says he was inspired by both his mother and by harris to run for public office. i've known kamala most of my life growing up here in the bay area, as we were both younger, but i was older and have followed her

through her career. accordingly, later in life, my mother and she who are both akas, alpha kappa alpha sorority and i'm an alpha of alpha phi alpha fraternity and corporate sister brothers. we maintain that relationship. anderson is running against sue wilson in the seat being vacated by longtime council member gayle mclaughlin. mclaughlin announced in june that she would not seek reelection. anderson has some high profile supporters, including the state superintendent of schools, but mclaughlin is throwing her weight behind his opponent. wilson and there are a total of seven candidates running for city council seats in richmond. sue wilson is competing against anderson in the district five race, and there are three candidates running for district one jamila brown, mark weisberg challenging incumbent melvin willis and in district six, sean dunning is challenging north and east incumbent claudia jimenez. and happening this week, a chance to hear directly from both candidates vying for the

16th congressional district, which spans parts of the peninsula and the south bay. former san jose mayor sam liccardo and assembly member evan lowe will meet at our studios for an hour long debate on their vision. if elected to congress and moving the bay area forward. that is happening this wednesday night at 7:00 right here on nbc bay area. and also this week, the vice presidential candidates will face off for the first time. minnesota governor tim walz and ohio senator jd vance will meet on the debate stage tuesday night, and you can watch the debate hosted by cbs news right here on nbc. bay area live special coverage starts at 5:00. up next, gunfire in contra costa county leaves a man fighting for his life. what we're learning about the shooting in an antioch front yard. and five boaters rescued at ocean beach in san francisco. new video into our newsroom of that rescue out at sea today. and signs of tomorrow's heat already underway as temperatures start to climb warmer than the same time last night when those

seco

waters. the coast guard comes out the fire department. the national park service, they all come out and work to get them to land. the boaters were rescued by jet ski and helicopter. everyone made it back safe. great job by the first responders. kris christofferson has passed away. the singer, songwriter and actor was 88. heading for the highway. rolling like a river. kristofferson was born in brownsville, texas, but his family moved to san mateo when he was just a teenager. he attended san mateo high. he graduated in 1954. kristofferson is best known for writing songs including sunday morning, coming down, johnny cash, hit me, and bobby mcgee. he also starred in several films, including a star is born and blade. his family says that kristofferson died

yesterday in his home in hawaii. a cause of death has not been released. antioch police are searching for a gunman after a man was shot in the stomach. officers responded to the scene at around 4:00 this morning on huntsman way and whitetail drive. they did find a man in his front yard who had been shot. paramedics rushed him to the hospital where he is in critical condition. police are still investigating. developing now a search and recovery in the southeast. days after hurricane helene made landfall as a category four storm. this new drone video shows the widespread devastation in horseshoe beach. president biden has approved a major disaster declaration for florida to provide assistance to areas affected by helene. and video out of north carolina shows water standing in front yards. businesses remain closed due to high water there. there have been at least five storm related deaths in the area. this video was taken at least 88 deaths in total have been confirmed as a result of the storm. more than 2 million customers remain without power across several states.

miami-dade's urban search and rescue team is working in florida's big bend region to rescue missing people. the 84 member team is carrying out search and rescue operations throughout dixie county. they're focusing on collapsed homes and buildings where people may still be alive but trapped. and there are still dozens of people unaccounted for. in tennessee, also hit hard by helene. here's nbc's priscilla thompson. the tennessee department of health has confirmed two weather related deaths. the death toll in tennessee rising as officials say more than 70 people remain missing. her sister called her family to say goodbye because they knew they weren't going to make it. loved ones in erwin holding photos of the missing still desperate for answers. nearly three days after flood waters rushed in across the region, unfathomable damage. red cross choppers flying in to help. that sound a harrowing reminder for doctor sean

oceanside. what's it like for you being back here? it's painful. returning to the unicoi county hospital for the first time today since this dramatic rescue. more than 60 patients taken by helicopter. ocean irvine the last to leave. there were literally flowing rapids. probably six inches to a half a foot to a foot high. high flowing within the building and, every, every team member, even with that, were pushing those gurneys to get them out through the doors to get them back into an eddy behind the hospital. and that's where we use ladders from the fire truck to get on the roof, because our hoisted those patients onto the roof. yes, ma'am. yes we did. some of us carried individual patients on our backs. we just didn't know how much time we had. all made it out safely as tonight the focus remains on finding the missing. we have team members. we. we don't know where they are. we will find them. and that was nbc's priscilla thompson

reporting. in the wake of such devastation, good samaritans and volunteers are deploying to impacted areas. even power crews from other states are going in to assess the energy companies down south with power restoration. one of our own red cross chapters is helping out the silicon valley. red cross sent a volunteer to support disaster relief efforts. we're told that he arrived about two days ago and is quickly getting acquainted with everything, and has been able to meet up with a few volunteers to who already arrived pre-landfall. we got some concerning weather coming our way. nothing like that, we hope, but there's a threat of fire around here. fire and high impact heat again for inland areas. it's going to be like july. you've seen these temperatures before, but what is likely to be different is that those same hot temperatures could be showing up in places like san francisco, oakland and the inner bay. that's what really is setting this one apart from other heat events we've seen this year. as we take a look at some of the high temperatures to wrap up the weekend. hopefully you enjoyed that ocean air conditioning

because it's about to go away. today was pretty close to the averages. if you want to know what we should see this time of year. inland is upper 70s and low 80s that's opposed to the upper 90s and hundreds are about to see headed our way in san francisco. average high is 71. it is one of the warmer times of the year, but san francisco by tuesday could easily see temperatures soaring through the mid 90s. so outside right now, the westerly wind is starting to back off 58 degrees in san francisco. also upper 50s in san rafael. a lot less low clouds right now. we're going to see more of that over the next few nights. this time tomorrow night, we'll probably see 70s and seconds around the bay area right now, 69, in walnut creek and into san jose, 66 degrees. temperatures trending a bit warmer as high pressure builds in, and unfortunately, high pressure can act like a lid settling in on top of the bay area, reducing the ability of the air to kind of mix in the wind to pick up and push out the ground level ozone. so tomorrow, spare the air alert inland east bay tri valley and santa clara valley with the worst of the

ground level ozone would not be surprised to see this extended into tuesday and wednesday, so still pretty warm across some of the inland hill tops. sea breeze starting to go away and look at that already at this hour. signs of warming as we head into your monday morning forecast, which begins with 50s and low 60s and tomorrow's highs, likely about 10 to 12 degrees hotter than the way we finished the weekend, which means mid 90s tomorrow in san jose, upper 90s down towards morgan hill and los gatos and up towards down towards gilroy. 100 degrees. similar temperatures for the tri-valley east of 680 tomorrow. upper 90s to 100 degrees. but look at oakland 87 degrees tomorrow as you head into redwood city 93. and as you move up the peninsula into downtown san francisco. we're talking 80s tomorrow, trending hotter for tuesday and north bay temperatures now back into the 90s. so here is the main event. we think in terms of the temperatures widespread hundreds inland. but look at hayward close to 100 degrees right there san francisco to oakland mid 90s. this is what we call a high

impact heat event as it affects communities that don't always have access to air conditioning, including the coast, santa cruz in the 90s, half moon bay, about 87 degrees wednesday. seeing those similar temperatures upper 90s above 100 degrees inland, 80s and 90s around the inner bay with the heat advisory hoisted for monday through wednesday. but look what happens with thursday's highs. you're still seeing those upper 90s and hundreds inland 80s and 90s bay side, so don't be surprised if the current heat advisory does get extended through about thursday. so what it's going to take to cool things off is to get rid of that ridge of high pressure by friday, some clouds start to come up out of the south. we'll start to see a stronger sea breeze around that time, which will lead us to those cooling temperatures as we head to the end of the week. so look at the seven day here for san francisco. if you kind of blocked out the banner on the top of the screen, you'd think that was the inland valley 7-day forecast again, keep in mind those hopefully some cooling centers will be opening up tuesday and wednesday because

we're going to need it. bay side of those temperatures well into the 90s valleys hottest days tuesday and wednesday and then dropping into the 80s and low 90s by next weekend. so this round of heat means business and that heat advisories for the entire bay area. in the past, we've seen san francisco and the coast out of those advisories. not the case for the next three days. really got to think about it and make sure everyone stays safe. absolutely. rob thanks. well, a chance to get an up close look at helicopters and planes. palo alto held its annual airport day. different helicopters and planes on display for people to view them up close. open house also had air traffic control tower tours. special flyovers. palo alto airport opened nearly a century ago. wow. all right. up next, a dock worker strike is looming on the east coast. how could impact shipping this holiday season? it's a high stakes game of chicken, and families like yours are caught in the middle. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we are digging into the

state's home insurance crisis

the city hall insiders have a formula: grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency,

not more of the same failed insiders. 729 requires large group health care plans and disability insurance policies to provide coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, including ivf. action comes as republicans in the u.s. senate blocked legislation to establish a nationwide right to in vitro for a second time this year. since roe v wade was overturned two years ago, california has taken a number of steps to ensure women have full access to reproductive choices, from abortion to fertility treatment. and governor newsom has vetoed a sweeping bill to regulate artificial intelligence. but at the same time, he announced a new initiative to do the very same thing the bill that was written by san francisco state senator scott wiener would have created safety and testing requirements for the largest and

most powerful ai programs. the measure faced opposition from big artificial intelligence companies. investors and startups also opposed it, saying it would create a chilling effect on ai development. in his veto message, newsom said that the bill was well intentioned but too narrow and stringent to be the best approach. meantime newsom announced a new initiative that he says will bring together academics from stanford and uc berkeley to develop testing and safety rules for ai systems used in california. dock workers at some of the country's busiest ports are set to walk off the job that is, if they don't get a new contract by tomorrow night. from boston and new york to new orleans and houston, the international longshoremen's association represents 85,000 workers in these critical port cities. experts say a strike by the union could bring the u.s. economy to a standstill. these ports carry everything from canned goods to car parts, electronics, everything. a walkout would force many stores to find other ways to get their

products into this country. the workers are at an impasse over a new six year contract, demanding higher wages and more protections against automation. are you worried this could crush the supply chain ahead of the holiday shopping season? the longer a strike goes, the longer it's going to take to recover, the more potential impact it has. president biden has the power to break a strike, but the white house says he is not considering getting involved. many california families are opening their mailboxes and finding a bombshell. a letter from their insurance company saying they are losing their home coverage, even if they live in a place where you think fire risk is low. a lot of families are asking, how can these companies drop loyal, paying customers so easily? consumer investigator chris chmura is going to show us how insurers have the upper hand, and how that might change. i feel terrible, i cannot sleep. maria espada in oakland has had safeco home insurance for 12 years, but not for much longer. safeco is dropping her. why? they chose m?

because i'm a good customer. i pay regularly. my policy. safeco declined to discuss maria's policy specifically. state records show safeco dropped 75 customers in her zip code, plus about a thousand more customers around the bay area. why safeco faulted the bay area's significant earthquake risk and the resulting home fires they cause are terrible. but here's the thing the state says safeco's explanation actually doesn't even matter. under california law, insurance companies are free to write where they want and choose the policies they want to write. it's freedom to cherry pick. and insurance companies are using it. the department of insurance says since 2022, seven of the top 12 insurance carriers have either cut existing policies or stopped selling new ones. 408,000 policyholders are now stuck in the state's insurer of

last resort, an all time high. this can't keep going on. consumer advocate amy bock says all this choosiness has put california in an impossible position. unprecedented lack of competition. unprecedented lack of options. unprecedented pricing and unprecedented pickiness on the part of insurance companies. a group called the insurance information institute speaks for the industry. california is the fourth largest insurance market in the world. we want to be here. we want to be a part of it. but we do need to make some profit. insurance companies say big disasters like the wine country fires and rising reconstruction costs have pinched their bottom line over the past ten years. that's why they're paring down now. companies are having to manage how much they can insure. but they've also gotten big help hedging their bets recently. in

2020, for example, pg&e took blame for some wildfires and said it was paying an $11 billion settlement to insurance companies who'd already paid to rebuild homes and businesses. on top of that, california is now providing insurance companies a huge and growing safety net. thanks to you each month on your power bill, you pay into a newly created wildfire fund. it has $13.5 billion today to repay insurance companies tomorrow. state law will let the fund grow to $21 billion. and yet, despite those multibillion dollar backstops, insurance companies continue cherry picking customers. so now the state is trying to negotiate with them. we're saying to the insurance companies, come in the department of insurance says it's willing to let companies use new catastrophe computer models for the first time, which they want. but only if they commit to ensuring more homes in wildfire areas, which they've

never done. they can't just walk away from them. they can't just say, no, that's not my job. every insurance company, in order to use those tools, needs to take on and help people. the insurance commissioner's office thinks all policyholders, not just families in wildfire zones, will see more insurance options next year. that's too much. back in east oakland, maria can't wait a year to see who wins this game of chicken. she needs a new insurance policy now. so far, the only insurance she's found costs double. i'm so worried. by the end, i'm going to lose my house and be part of the list of homeless people. if your homeowner's insurance company drops you, you can try to appeal. but you should also start shopping immediately. we made a video showing you to how do that. you can find it and all of our other to how videos on our website and our youtube pag.

just look for the how to playlist. maria contacted our team online. you can to snap the qr code on screen right now to fill out our consumer complaint form. all right, chris, thanks so much. there are still two more years until californians cast their votes for governor, but candidates are already making their pitch. can you believe that two years ahead of time, we're going to hear from some of those candidates at a special forum in san francisco today. stay wh us. we're backit

two of the candidates in fremont's mayoral race, plus the bay area, is bracing for the heat. we are tracking hot temps and fire danger that has pg&e on high alert. the areas that could see power shutoffs. but first, more questions than answers after shots ring out in contra costa county neighborhood. the investigation just getting started tonight. thanks for

joining us on this special edition of nbc bay area news. i'm audrey asistio and i'm terry mcsweeney. a contra costa county neighborhood is rattled after gunshots rang out earlier this evening. nbc bay area's thom jensen is in bay point, where an investigation is now underway. tom. reporter. good evening. yes, this has been an active crime scene for a few hours now. police and paramedics were dispatched here at about 545 after there was a shooting. rapid gunfire. we heard from witnesses who did not want to go on camera, but said they heard at least 9 to 10 shots fired. we saw what looked like maybe markings for 15 gun casings on the scene here. we also understand there were two people injured. this was confirmed by the contra costa county sheriff's department. who does provide police protection for bay point. they say one adult and one child were injured and taken to local hospitals. they did not say if they were life threatening injuries, but we heard from witnesses on the scene, unconfirmed reports that they were not life threatening.

the child was grazed by a bullet. a young child, possibly two months old and an adult was shot in the leg. again, not life threatening injuries. we also saw video of at least three people being taken in by police, handcuffed, at least being taken in for questioning. and we've heard of possibly more arrests of suspects in areas around the bay point area. but we have not got those reports confirmed by the sheriff's department yet. they promise to give us more information later. for now, back to you. all right, tom, thank you. new tonight san jose police are investigating a crash that left one person dead. it happened just after 3:00 this afternoon on santa teresa boulevard and bailey drive, near the santa teresa county park. police say two cars were involved. one of the drivers died in that crash. he was the only person in that car. there were three other people inside the second car. they were taken to the hospital and are expected to be okay. no word yet on what caused that crash. it is more than two years away, but the 2026 race for california

governor is officially underway. four of the five declared candidates took part in a 90 minute forum streamed live today, hosted by the l.a. times, sponsored by the national union of health care workers. voters got to hear an opening statement from the candidates, as well as their answers to a range of questions. california is in need of a strong, decisive leader, and who can bring parties together and reach consensus. i am fighting for women. i am fighting for workers. i am fighting for students, and i am fighting for an economy that works. we need a governor who will fight for working people and for the middle class. my life experience informs the work that i do on health care, on reproductive rights, on housing, education, workers rights, climate, and so much more. in order of appearance, that was state controller betty yee. lieutenant governor eleni kounalakis. state superintendent of public instruction tony thurmond. state senator toni atkins. former los angeles mayor antonio villaraigosa is also

running for governor. that again, election is not until 2026. all right. speaking of politics, the race for mayor in an east bay city is getting contentious, with accusations flying between two of the candidates in fremont. they used to serve alongside each other on the fremont city council. but now one is accusing the other of being a frequent no show at meetings. while that candidate is pointing at a half dozen state violations and lawsuits involving his opponent's businesses. senior investigative reporter bigad shaban looks into the allegations to find out what's really going on. i really feel like these are distractions. city councilmember raj salwan is having to defend himself, even though he'd rather be talking about his campaign to be the next mayor of fremont. i want to make sure that future families have the same opportunities that i had. fremont is my home. salwan the child of indian immigrants, was raised in fremont, where he served as a city council member

for much of the past decade. but it's his work outside city hall that is raising questions for some in the bay area. salwan owns hundreds of apartment units across the east bay, but the successful real estate mogul is being accused of neglecting some of his properties and taking advantage of low income renters like maria vasquez. her family, along with families in two other units in this development, are now suing raj salwan, according to their lawsuit. they endured water leaks, bedbugs and a cockroach infestation inside their kitchen cabinets. maria says her complaints were often ignored, so she was forced to store her pots and pans outside on her back patio for years at her apartment owned by raj salwan. if he's going to be a candidate, he should first fix what he has here, then look into future things. maria says her cabinets were finally replaced earlier this year, but says the

fixes only came after she took legal action. we found a total of at least seven lawsuits since 2016 filed against raj salwan, in which his current and former tenants alleged unsafe conditions, including mold broken heaters and infestations involving insects and rodents. most of the lawsuits appear to have been settled, but the details of those agreements aren't public. we're talking about different tenants living in different buildings, but all accusing you of very similar problems in their homes. each one, we addressed it as best we could, and based on our data analysis, it's less than 0.05% of the various tenants we've had. some are essentially accusing you of being a slumlord. that's. yeah that's false. and anybody that has an issue the property management immediately addresses it. salwan says the person overseeing that property management is his father, dharam salwan, who provided us this one work order. much of it isn't legible, but he

says it shows the vasquez family refused certain pest control services last may. maria says that isn't true, but san juan's rental properties aren't the only family business caught in controversy. he and his father are also veterinarians and part owners of the tri-city veterinary hospital in fremont, where salwan says he works six days a week. two years ago, inspectors with the state's veterinary medical board cited and fined the hospital for six violations, including unsanitary conditions, and expired drugs. the violations, they say, went uncorrected for nearly four years. the issue you reference is a citation that was given to my father, who is the managing licensee, the managing licensee is responsible for the upkeep of the premises. it sounds like you're saying your father then is largely to blame for these issues. have you ever voiced any of these concerns with him? i'm

not here to blame anybody. as one of the main vets working there, do you not see yourself responsible for any of that? no. i think it's always a shared responsibility. absolutely. but again, i'm not my role is to serve the customers and provide exceptional patient care. but on the customer review website yelp, where the practice has a two star rating, hundreds of pet owners say they never received that level of care and their negative comments aren't the only issue. reviews on yelp can't be deleted, but san juan's family run animal hospital is accused of trying to do just that by changing its name and address on yelp from the tri-city veterinary hospital here to seemingly made up businesses. that way, the bad comments would be attached to those fake animal clinics giving san juan's pet hospital a clean slate. so who made those changes? yelp told us attempts to hide the business's reputation and mislead consumers came directly from someone

associated with the business. we didn't change anything that wasn't your vet practice. that changed the name on yelp because according to yelp, the only people that would have had access to changing it would be your actual vet hospital. yeah, we never changed that. i don't know, i don't really understand internet or exactly how this works, but we didn't make any changes, so who else could that have been? i don't want to speculate. we did not make any changes. yelp disagreed and took action merging all the businesses and the comments onto one page. salwan says the range of criticisms lodged against him were first drummed up online by his main opponent in the mayor's race, vinny bacon. this is what's wrong with politics nowadays. we have this toxic culture where we tear the other side down. but san juan has gripes of his own to share about his political rival. he's very good in the politics, but terrible in governance. salwan accuses bacon of being a frequent no show on two of the roughly half a dozen boards

bacon served on during his eight years as a fremont councilman. for one of those boards, records show. bacon missed 82% of meetings every committee member has an alternate, and if you can't make the meeting, you ask your alternate to go for you. but even when bacon wasn't there, records we obtained show his alternate was still absent. most of the time. the inference your opponent is trying to make is that this somehow shows a lack of commitment that would be carried with you if you were elected mayor. no, i think i will commit a lot of my time to being the mayor. i will just say, as a city council member, i missed two meetings for the entire eight years that i was there. bacon also says if elected mayor, he'd immediately adjust his tech job hours and likely leave the role altogether within a year of taking office. but salwan still questions his reliability. the state agency that investigates campaign ethics violations cited and fined bacon for failing to provide financial reports on

time on four separate occasions in 2020. his campaign fundraising statements were filed late anywhere from 2 to 35 days after the deadline. why the delay in filing those reports? i really have no good excuse. i mean, it it is sloppy and i should have turned them in on time. but state investigators found no evidence he tried to conceal financial information and determined harm to the public was minimal. ultimately, fremont voters will get the final say. i really want to do what's best for the city and implement good plans. and for the city of fremont, i want to make sure that i'm honest and straightforward, and i will take fremont to new heights and make it even better. in politics, it's often hard to hear over all the noise. but there is one thing even louder the ticking of the clock. with the election now less than six weeks away with the investigative unit on bigad jobeth. all right, bigad, thanks so much. and if you have a story

the city hall insiders have a formula: grow the system, exploit the system. take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders.

right. i'm going to do line two. from the day he was on the boat, the crews have always interacted with him. they would play with him. they would throw him a rop. he would grab the lines and help me. good boy. unlike most deckhands, when bear goes to work, he draws a crowd. i have a real full of people watching me untie the boat every morning. that's all you got? it became really a lot of help during the pandemic because when we were short staffed, how would you throw a line to yourself? all right. we got to take people whale watching. let's go. good morning. whale watchers. welcome aboard the kitty cat. when the kitty cat heads out to sea with a boat full of passengers looking for whales, it would appear to be rest time. oh, no. he's working right now. that's what he's doing. inasmuch as bear is skilled at pulling rope, nasar claims his real talent is

finding whales. he'll let us know when the whale is within the proximity and whale time. see that man? he's amazing. all right, the dog is giving me indication, folks. second whale, 1:00 and the whale dog did it again. well, fact or fiction? bears skills gained the appreciation of nazar's other crew members. sister ecologist olive and sophie bellaire, who launched bear into stardom with his own tiktok channel. good boy. good boy. i saw the opportunity and people on the internet loved watching him, so just kept rolling with it. good boy. his videos have now made him perhaps the world's most famous deckhand. his most is 5.1 million views so far. thank you for supporting us. in fact, nasar wonders whether customers

come for the whales or bear. we've had an incredible amount of people coming because they do want to see bear, but as much as bear is loved here on the docks, that wasn't always the case. i basically adopted him out of was a situation of just they didn't want him. he's always yelling at me. turns out as deckhands go, bear's biggest asset may be that of a loyal companion. you're definitely never alone. if you want a friend. good boy. a true necessity on the docks of fisherman's wharf. joe rosato jr. i just wish he could pick stocks. nbc bay area news. that is so adorable. i wish you could pick stocks, too. there's going to be some really good whale watching weather coming up. yeah right on the water. on the water. a lot of people are going to head out to the beaches because the temperatures we had today the last we're going to see these numbers for a while we

had those 80s inland. no 90s to wrap up the weekend with the all day ocean air conditioning. that, however, is about to change as we head towards tomorrow morning. let's show you where the average highs should be this time of year, and where we finished out the weekend and pretty close to the averages. 80s inland cooler 65 in san francisco. and keep in mind some of these temperatures for highs today. the hills around the bay area could see low temperatures in the 70s and 80s midweek, so big heat coming our way right now, 58 degrees in san francisco. you notice what's missing? no fog. the coolant to that ocean air conditioning is going away right now. 59 degrees in san rafael, over towards walnut creek, 69 degrees. you see the 24 hour temperature change starting to warm up now as high pressure builds in. that's the sinking warming of the air above. we'll see more of that into tomorrow. 66 currently in san jose. and probably two factors to cut back on that outdoor activity for the afternoon. air quality is one of them, but the spare, the air alert. inland, east bay, santa clara valley unhealthy for sensitive groups. monday. we'll probably see more of that

tuesday and wednesday. and here is the fire danger aspect for the higher elevations above 2000ft. for the interior portions of the north bay mountains. diablo range, maybe near the santa cruz mountains, as well. once those wind arrows start to turn offshore. warming and drying. a high pressure build in so 50s and 60s to start things off tomorrow morning. watch how quickly the numbers start to warm up by noon already passing today's highs by 11 and 12:00 tomorrow, and then high temperatures tomorrow. mid to upper 90s south of downtown san jose. 80s from san francisco and approaching the 90s around the inner bay. keep in mind the heat advisory for now is monday through wednesday, but i think as you're about to see, thursday would make day four of these types of temperatures. so right now, obviously tuesday and wednesday the top concern because bay side temperatures are in the 90s to near 100 degrees. inland areas anywhere from 100 to 107 degrees up towards concord. wednesday. pretty close to the same temperatures inland. lots of hundreds their 80s and mid 90s.

bayside now thursday. here's why the interior portions may still see that heat advisory. we still got upper 90s to near 100 degrees inland, so what it's going to take is high pressure to weaken enough to bring in a little bit of cooling. but at this point, it looks like that cooling means highs in the 80s and 90s as opposed to seconds and one hundreds in the 7-day forecast. so san francisco has a very inland valley, like 7-day forecast, 80s and 90s. if we manage mid 90s that will be the hottest san francisco has been in at least a couple of years, 70s and 80s. as we head towards next weekend and the valleys really scorching tuesday and wednesday, thursday as well. and now that cooling for next weekend looks more like 80s and low to mid 90s. so stay tuned. it may take some time to shake off some of this heat that we're going to be seeing there. in that 7-day forecast. those 80s never look so good. yes. all right rob thanks. all right anthony flores joining us now for sports. he is live at levi's. hey anthony. hey terry. you know there is no place like

home for the 49ers. the red and gold dominate the patriots to remain perfect this season at levi's stadium. while putting an end to their two game losing streak. highlights. next in sports

fresh cracked eggs, seasoned potatoes, sausage. gotta hand it to the tortilla, that sucker's holding on for dear life. the boss of breakfast. gotta be wendy's. welcome back. i'm anthony flores, live at levi's stadium. the 49ers put an end to their two game losing streak. thanks to a dominating performance by their defense. the 49ers, playing their first afternoon home game of the season against the new england patriots defense, setting the tone early. up six nothing in the second quarter. fred warner picks off jacoby brissett, the all-pro linebacker returns it 45 yards for the touchdown. 13 nothing 49ers the offense finds the end

zone just before the break. brock purdy throws it up george kittle brings it down. it's a 12 yard touchdown 20 to 3 niners at the half. third quarter the niners get the ground game going jordan mason rumbles in from four yards out. he rushed for 123 yards on 24 carries. pressured again bosa gets there. the 49ers defense took care of the rest. the niners recorded six sacks and recovered two fumbles. the niners get back on the winning track. they beat the patriots 30 to 13. it's their first win over the pats in the bay area since 1995. i thought the defense was awesome. all day. anytime you score even better. i didn't get a look at all the stats, but i think they were really good. on third down. defensive felt like dominated all day. two losses, especially the one last week. it had a sour taste in our mouth, yeah, i think it was the right type of week. they had a chip on their shoulder this week at practice and we all did. and so and with that being said, i still think

we can all collectively as an offensive unit, be better and execute in situations. so but very proud of those guys. we've been practicing really good, it's just a matter of bringing it to the game. and i think we did that today and the 49ers improved to two and two on the season. all right. now to baseball. and it's official the end of an era. the a's play their last game as the oakland a's. the a's in the pacific northwest in seattle to close out the regular season. they lose to the mariners six four, ending their 57 seasons as the oakland a's. after the final out, there were a's fans in the stands cheering, hugging and saluted the team. that's called the east bay home for nearly 60 years. next season, they will move to their temporary home of sacramento. they'll play there for at least three years, then make their way to their new permanent home of las vegas. the a's finished their last season in oakland with a 69 and 93 record. well, a lot of goodbye hugs today at oracle park. a
